Can checkstyle be set up to check for author tags?

Yes, it can. In [configuration] there is the following setup:

        <module name="JavadocType">
            <property name="authorFormat" value="\S"/>
        </module>

This means that the @author tag must be present with an arbitrary value. The value can even be matched against a regular expression. For details refer to [1].

There was an ASF guideline or suggestion a couple of years ago to use
"Apache Software Foundation" in author tags.

Not that I remember.

The board recommendation [1] was to not use @author tags at all.

[1] 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2004/board_minutes_2004_09_22.txt
Section 7, subsection F

Using @author ASF probably does not go against the spirit of the
recommendation; I just don't see the point.

-0 on the @author tag since I'm not involved in OGNL.

I find it a bit rude to remove the signature from someone else work. But
feel free to remove your own name.

Again, the old discussion.

OGNL has @author tags. I do not like them. Who wants to keep them? I
prefer a developers section in the pom and of course there is svn
history.

In addition:
  * $Id: ASTAdd.java 1183232 2011-10-14 07:40:32Z grobmeier $

This line must not be the first of the license header, otherwise
checkstyle is crying. In addition I have never understood the sense of
that line. I am +1 for removing it too (svn history does all i need).

If we keep it, we need to move it on class level docs.

OK, let the rumble begin... your opinions gents!
